For a cheap margarita
2 oz. el Jimador Reposado tequila (about $22 per bottle) makes a decent
sipper as well
1 oz. triple sec
6 oz. margarita mix.
For a nice top shelf margarita
1 oz Cointreau or Grand Marnier
2 1/2 oz. sweet and sour
1 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice
1 1/2 oz. QUALITY tequila. FWIW, 1800, Cuervo, and Patron (owned by Paul
Mitchell Hair Care Products- IT'S MARKETING PEOPLE!!) should NEVER foul this
recipe. MY suggestions are, Don Julio, Corzo, Tres
Generaciones, or Milagro. I would recommend using a Reposado for this, and
save the Anejo's for
sipping.
